An Introduction To Plancha Cooking
Most of the Bonfeu range of firepits & outdoor fireplaces can be turned from standard heat sources into fun & exciting methods to cook food. A steel Plancha is most commonly used throughout this range.
Plancha Cooking
To make it simple, a Plancha is a solid steel cooking plate, heated from the fire below.
Very easy to use, in around 30 minutes, depending on weather conditions, the cooking plate will reach a temperature of around 300˚C on the inner edge and around 200˚C on the outer edge.
After each use, a Plancha can be easily cleaned. First of all, it’s important to remove all food scraps by sliing them into your fire. After the plate has cooled down, you can clean it with a wet cloth. It is important to keep the plancha baking plate greased at all times. Especially when storing the baking plate, it must be greased. This is because the baking plate is made of steel, which can rust over time.
Bonfeu Materials Explained
Most of the Bonfeu range is available in 2 finishes; Black and raw Corten Steel. Whilst the black models are simply steel treated with a black coating, its worth explaining what Corten steel is and how it works.
Corten Steel
